Choose the Windows Server template, confirm the install and wait for it to finish. The panel shows the IP and the password of the `Administrator` user. With those details you connect through Remote Desktop on port `3389`. ## What a Windows VPS is[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/create-windows-vps-rdp#o-que-e) A Windows VPS is a virtual machine with Windows Server installed, delivered with a dedicated IP and remote access over RDP. RDP stands for Remote Desktop Protocol, the Microsoft protocol that streams the server's desktop to your screen and sends your keyboard and mouse back. In practice you use the server as if it were an ordinary computer, only one that stays on 24 hours a day in a data center. Many people simply call this product an RDP. It is the same service, just named after the access protocol instead of the machine. | Term | Meaning | | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | Windows VPS | Virtual machine with Windows Server and dedicated resources | | RDP | Microsoft's remote desktop protocol | | Administrator | Default administrator user of Windows Server | | Port 3389 | Default port the RDP service listens on | ## Before you order[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/create-windows-vps-rdp#antes-de-contratar) Windows Server uses far more resources than a lean Linux distribution. The graphical interface is always loaded and the system services take up memory even when the machine is idle. That is why very small plans usually disappoint on a Windows VPS. * Plan for at least 4 GB of RAM for comfortable use, and more than that if you will run several programs at the same time. * An NVMe disk makes a big difference, because Windows writes to disk all the time with updates and logs. * Check whether the Windows Server license is included in the plan you chose. * If the goal is to run just one background service, consider whether Linux would solve it for less. To size it calmly, see [how many resources a Windows VPS needs](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/how-much-ram-does-a-windows-vps-need). ## Install Windows from the panel[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/create-windows-vps-rdp#instalar) Once the order is approved, the VPS shows up in the client area with the management panel built into the service page itself. There is no second login: you manage the machine from the same account you used to buy it. 1. Log in to the client area and open the service of the VPS you ordered. 2. Find the option to install or reinstall the operating system. 3. Choose the Windows Server template in the version you want, for example 2019 or 2022. 4. Confirm the install and wait for the process to finish. 5. When the status goes back to on, Windows is already installed and starting up. Installing the system formats the disk and erases everything on the VPS. If the machine was already in use, back up your data before you choose the template. The first Windows boot takes longer than the later ones, because the system is still finishing its internal setup. If RDP does not answer right away, wait a few minutes before concluding that something went wrong. ## RDP login details[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/create-windows-vps-rdp#dados-de-acesso) When the install ends, the server panel shows the information you need to connect. There are three pieces of data, and all of them are available in the client area itself. | Detail | Typical value | Where to find it | | --------- | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | | Server IP | Dedicated IPv4 address | Service panel, network section | | Username | Administrator | Windows Server default | | Password | Generated during the install | Service panel, after the build finishes | | Port | 3389 | RDP default, you do not need to type it | Copy the generated password into a password manager before closing the page. If you lose access, you can still reset it through the graphical console, but it is a lot more work. ## First precautions[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/create-windows-vps-rdp#primeiros-cuidados) A Windows VPS with RDP open to the internet gets automated login attempts within hours. That is not exaggeration or alarmism: it is the normal behavior of people who scan IP ranges looking for port 3389. The steps below take a few minutes and prevent most problems. * Replace the default Administrator password with a long, unique one * Install the pending Windows Update patches * Restrict RDP access to your IP when it is static * Create a regular user for everyday work and keep Administrator in reserve * Set up a backup or snapshot before installing your programs Never leave the automatically generated password in permanent use and never reuse the password from another service. A large share of break-ins on Windows VPS happen through a weak Administrator password, not through a flaw in the system. ## Next steps[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/create-windows-vps-rdp#proximos-passos) With the VPS installed, the next step is learning to connect from any device in [how to connect to the Windows VPS over RDP](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/connect-to-windows-vps-rdp) and tightening security with [protecting RDP against attacks](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/secure-rdp-windows-vps).

The machine is created automatically once the payment is confirmed. The Windows Server install itself usually takes a few minutes, since the system is written from a ready made template onto an NVMe disk. Do I need to buy the Windows license separately? It depends on the plan. In many cases the license comes with the Windows VPS you order. Confirm on the product page or with support before installing, so you do not end up with the system in evaluation mode. Can I switch from Linux to Windows later? Yes. The panel lets you reinstall the system with another template, but the switch formats the disk and erases everything on the VPS. Back up your data before reinstalling. Which username do I use to log in to the Windows VPS? The default Windows Server user is Administrator. The password is generated during the install and shown in the server panel inside the client area. Next step See VPS plans Root VPS in Brazil with NVMe and Anti-DDoS.
